Thanks for this tutorial. It’s exactly what I was looking for and I was able to follow along with no problems!

this tutorial is very difficult to understand, with out any real guidance to telling people where the tools ou are explaining are located, or what items on the option bar you are referring to. The truly hard part is that no matter what I have done, I have not been able to have the path be filled when I hit the fill path button under the paths window. If I try to use paint bucket or some such tool, it just fills the whole page black as the path is just defined as a bunch of lines that are not actually existing, there are no layers, only the background.

hi,
I am a new student at Central Georgia Technical College ,we use Photoshop in our Digital Imaging Class .Creating-a-gear was one of our assignments , following the instructions was a little difficult . On step 2 , Now switch to the Elliptical Shape tooland taking notice of the path window .I was using the wrong tool ,I don’t know if the names are the same or not but I’m new at this (Elliptical and Ellipse) and I know you did’nt say Marquee but I figured it out it was the Ellipse Shape Tool not the E lliptical Marquee Tool .I downloaded the 30 day trial and was able to try different things until I got mine to look like yours.

Thanks , Vanessa Harris
